<p>[QUOTE=&quot;foundinrolls, post: 701069, member: 4350&quot;]Hi,</p><p><br /></p><p>It was poorly named when it was named in the first place.&nbsp; The knowledge about that coin has caught up with the name 30 years ago.&nbsp; Since then anyone calling it a doubled die either doesn&#039;t know what they are doing or they are being deceptive.&nbsp; If they know what it is,&nbsp; they should say what it is.</p><p><br /></p><p>It never was a doubled die,&nbsp; it is the result of a deteriorated die. </p><p><br /></p><p>Therefore calling it a doubled die by the nature of the thing has to be wrong.&nbsp; The term used to be &quot;Poorman&#039;s double&quot;&nbsp; somewhere along the way,&nbsp; double(d) die got added to the mix as a way to fool people into buying something, thinking that it was something else.</p><p><br /></p><p>If I put up a machine doubled 1972 cent or a 1955 cent struck by deteriorated dies and called them doubled dies,&nbsp; I&#039;d be run out of town on a rail because I know better and people expect me to know better.</p><p><br /></p><p>Why should someone else who has the proper knowledge be held to a lesser standard?&nbsp; If this guy was a member of the ANA, for example,&nbsp; his sales of this stuff would be enough to expel him or at least have a valid complaint lodged against him.</p><p><br /></p><p>His own words in his posts indicate that he was being deceptive with the listing so more people could find it.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s just wrong.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks,</p><p>Bill[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
